When Guo Xu was filming, his agent Happi Waters was responsible for logistics, so that he could just enjoy his life and occasionally sign an endorsement contract that had been negotiated.

Hapi became an NBA ace agent and formed an agency team. He was still busy. Because more and more players signed under his name, many rookies and players who had been unsuccessful in their careers for several seasons knew that he was Guo Xu's agent and came here to see him.

This year alone, he signed four rookies, three of which Guo Xu suggested to him to sign, David West, Jason Capono, and Kyle Korver Mo Williams took the initiative to recommend himself. He is a fan of Guo Xu and hopes that he can also make a counterattack in the second round.

Among the players who have already played at the right level, Hapi also signed Warriors center Eric Danpier, who is the contract year this season. In 2002, he found Hapier and wanted to change to a reliable economic man and strive to sign a high-paying and long-term contract.

Hapi is mainly responsible for Guo Xu. He handed over the second round rookies to several subordinates to help follow up and report on his work at any time.

Guo Xu alone has more advertising endorsements than others. Hapi is not easy. In addition to choosing new commercial endorsements, Hapi also has to contact companies that have signed contracts to discuss future development.

Like Chevrolet, Guo Xu had to significantly increase the price when signing a contract again. As his status and status improve, more and more luxury car companies want to ask him to be an endorsement, and Chevrolet must express enough sincerity to renew the contract.

Hapi also puts pressure on Nike, and it is OK not to reduce the contract period signed, but Nike must give Guo Xu a large contract in the future, otherwise Guo Xu will consider switching to Adidas.

LeBron James participated in the draft this year and signed a sky-high contract with Nike for 7 years and $91 million before he even played. However, Reebok signed a sky-high contract with 60 million in 6 years.

In this way, Guo Xu and Nike's previous contract seemed a bit too insufficient. Now he is the top Nike brand and the number one star in the sales of sneakers.

After some negotiations, Nike promised that as long as Guo Xu guaranteed to be selected as the All-Star when the contract expires and led the Suns to win the championship, he would provide him with a big contract that surpassed James. If he had serious injuries and his performance declined, the contract would be negotiated at that time.

Hapi felt that Nike's promise was not enough, so he said when chatting with Guo Xu: "I'm so sorry that I couldn't help you maximize your interests. Nike's contract was signed too long before."

Guo Xu smiled and said, "It's not your fault. Who would have thought that inflation would be so fast two years ago? And I'm not losing money. Didn't you buy a lot of Apple stocks with me? If I were indecisive at the time and had not signed the contract, I would have used less money to invest in the past two years and made a lot less money."

"With that being said, stock trading is because you have a good vision, not my ability. I have benefited from you." Hapi sighed.

"We are friends, why both of you count so carefully? You have done a good job."

This year, Hapi carefully selected several merchants for Guo Xu, and the endorsement fees were very high, including men's perfume, shampoo, jeans, brand-name suits, etc. Guo Xu almost didn't have to spend money on daily necessities, and it was sponsored by merchants for free.

He shot several commercials in Los Angeles and returned to Phoenix on September 3.

He didn't rush to practice football, but moved first and moved into a small villa with a garden. He had already started buying a house at the end of the season, which was done by Hapi.

Guo Xu's move immediately came to the news. Suns fans were very happy. If Guo Xu rented an apartment like he was in Los Angeles, they were always worried that he would leave the team one day in the future.

Most NBA players don't like to stay in the same place. They are professional. They are used to flying everywhere when playing away games, and they will also play around the world during holidays.

Previously, neither Guo Xu nor Marion bought a house in Phoenix, and lived in Las Vegas during the "hacker" holiday. Guo Xu originally thought that since he was often away from home all year round, why should he buy a house in Phoenix? The holiday in NBA is still in summer, and Phoenix is ​​not suitable for summer vacation.

After Megan stayed in the apartment for a while, his idea changed. The two of them were about to live together, and the apartment seemed a bit too small. Both of them had relatives, so if they bought a villa, they would visit and stay there for a long time.

Another point is that the housing prices in the United States are really cheap during this period, with only a few big cities such as Los Angeles and New York being at a higher price.

Phoenix City is not a high-priced city. A 300-square-meter villa is basically priced at US$600,000 to US$700,000, with comprehensive environmental supporting facilities, including two garages, more than 1,000 square meters of lawn, front and rear gardens, and an open-air swimming pool.

Guo Xu thought the decoration was too troublesome and bought a second-hand house directly. A Chinese couple had to go to other cities to develop due to job transfers. Guo Xu simply bought the house, and left all the original furniture and moved in with his bag.

Guo Xu knew this couple, working in a large company, and meeting them at the New Year's Day party. When looking for a suitable property, he introduced them through the local Chinese association. He has a wide connection and everything will be simpler. Guo Xu only spent 700,000 yuan.

In contrast, in the east on the other side of the ocean, some houses are completely made of gold bricks. What’s amazing is that many people still think that housing prices are not high enough. If they can double the price to rise, they will be satisfied. On the contrary, if the housing prices fall by 10% in a month, these people will directly form a group to siege the sales office.

Of course, houses in the United States are for living, while houses in the Tian Dynasty are for speculation. The meanings are different and it is difficult to evaluate.

In the United States, some poor people feel uncomfortable renting an apartment. If you want to buy a house, you can enjoy various housing purchase benefits provided by the government, such as applying for a mortgage credit certificate and enjoying personal income tax credit within 10 years.

The problem of living in rural America is simpler. Farms with annual sales of less than $100,000 are resource-limited farms and do not have to pay taxes, while large farmers only pay about 5%.

The American-style gap between the rich and the poor is not that the poor cannot afford a house, but that the housing area and grade are lower than that of middle- and high-income families.

Meghan has a carefree personality and has no requirements for the decoration of the house. She just needs to have a place to live. She came to Phoenix City three days later than Guo Xu and moved into the villa quietly. The two officially started living together.

Apart from not getting a marriage certificate, they both felt that life seemed to be no different from that of an ordinary couple. As early as in Los Angeles, they had been used to living together and had a very tacit understanding.

They also have a new family member, a husky puppy sent by Meghan's mother Darrens. Not long after birth, it was the child of the husky raised by Meghan's family in Port St. Lucie. They named the puppy "Buddy", which means friends and partners in English.

Guo Xu had long heard of the reputation of Husky and suspected that raising this guy was a mistake. When he grew up, he would probably "dismantle the house". However, Meghan liked animals very much and promised that when Guo Xu went away, she could take good care of Buddy and would not have any problems, so she could only stay.

In her previous life, Meghan was famous for her favorite animals. She raised many animals at home, in addition to cats, dogs, and birds, and even a big-bellied pig. It was convenient for her to keep animals when she moved into a villa.

Guo Xu installed a basketball stand in the backyard to practice shooting. He didn't go out much. He went straight into the swimming pool next to him and swam for two laps, quickly regaining his excellent shooting feel.
